Data was divided into 2 groups of patients with CSW and those without. The primary endpoint was incidence of adverse effects of CSW in regard to injury severity score (ISS), hospital length of stay (HLOS), ventilator days, ICU length of stay (ICU LOS) and survival to discharge. Data was analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).Results: A total of  310 consecutive patients with severe head injury (anatomic injury score 3 or greater) were evaluated over a 3-year period. A total of 125 of the 310 patients (40%) were diagnosed with cerebral salt wasting as defined by hyponatremia with appropriate urinary output and salt replacement. Patients with CSW had poorer outcomes in regard to ISS (21.8 vs 14.2, p< 0.0001), HLOS (14.1 vs 3.5, p< 0.0001), ventilator days (5.0 vs 0.45, p< 0.0001), ICU LOS (8.5 vs 1.6, p< 0.0001), and survival to discharge (88% vs 99%, p< 0.0001).Discussion: Common adverse effects of CSW were noted in this study. Patients with TBI have a predilection towards development of CSW and consequently have poorer outcomes including increased morbidity and mortality. Data is sparse on the duration of CSW and degree of hyponatremia over time. Larger, comparative studies need to be performed to investigate the hyponatremic patient population and the clinical outcomes of those who present with CSW.Keywords: hyponatremia, hypovolemia, Natriuresis, traumatic brain injury, neurosurgeryChendrasekhar AChow PTCohen DAkella KVadali VBapatla APatwari JRubinshteyn VHarris LDove Medical Pressarticlehyponatremiahypovolemianatriuresistraumatic brain injuryneurosurgery.Neurosciences.
